    ::psy:: I had purchased this...http://omegaforums.net/threads/uncommon-1952-omega-seamaster-chronometre-cal-352.5802/ and it was shipped out from across the pond yesterday and have been excited to get my sweaty palms on it, oh I figured, Thursday best case scenario...

    Well wouldn't you know when I returned home (after a very short errand by the way) this is what was on my door...:(

    I have to say, after recovering from the disappointment I know many of you have felt at this, damn, DHL is good...and thank you, you know who, for the speed of light shipping. Anyway tomorrow is another day and I won't miss it this time!:cautious:

    DHL is good? They don't have that great of a reputation within the CONUS. I've seen signatures that read "Friends don't let friends ship via DHL".

    I had no idea...::confused2:: But I sent it yesterday, and that's quicker than anything I've had from the US, using the most express option.

    Please search "ninjas of disappointment." Looks like DHL is giving Auspost a real run for the money here.

    I always use FedEx. After a huge discount for volume shipping it is by far the cheapest anywhere I could negotiate
